Will the Away Supporters Club be arranging coaches to Nottingham?

Alternatively, take the train. It'll be cheaper and faster (£10.80 for a Day Return from Leicester - approx. 32 minutes) and you travel when you want, i.e. you're not waiting for everyone to get back to the coach or you can stay longer in Nottingham if you wish.

Buses to the ground virtually run very regularly. Right outside the train station.

Walking

a steady walk of about 20 mins I believe

For anyone who thinking of driving to the match, consider taking the tram from the park and rides at Phoenix Park, Hucknall, Toton Lane and Clifton South

According to the timetable, they run every 10 minutes and it's only £3.50 Adult Return, U-15s £2.00, U-5s free or £5.00 for a Group Return (1-2 adults + up to 3 children). This must be cheaper than trying to park nearer the City Ground and you don't have the hassle of driving through Nottingham.

I'm fortunate as I live in Derby which is only 16 miles and a 20 minute train ride from Nottingham and it's only about a 7 minute walk from the station to the City ground. I would urge fans who live in Loughborough & Leicester & Market Harborough to use the train to get there as car parking is limited expensive and awful.

Will parking be available at Notts Rugby ground, just behind Forest's ground?

As there's been no mention of it on here so far, perhaps someone who might be interested in parking there could contact Nottingham RFC and find out?

Any idea of when the buses will leave Leicester? I'm travelling up from Cambridge.

Taking names now for a bus from the Fox & Tiger in Blaby. Anyone who has been before will vouch for the craic they can be. Contact Ernie at the pub or Steve via Mullen & Kelly Construction website for email and telephone number.

The Tram Park and Ride is actually only £2 return using the Event Return option. If asked you need a event return ticket and your match ticket!

The website says there is even a shuttle bus to the ground from Queens Road, although this may only be for Forest games.

Excellent! That'll be even cheaper than using my Mango card. :smt023
